Historical Observing Metadata Repository

The Historical Observing Metadata Repository (HOMR) is NCEI's integrated
station history database that provides in situ
or land-based station metadata in support of NCEI research, reporting,
data products, and web applications. HOMR tracks detailed information for
a variety of weather stations throughout their lifespans, including identifiers,
names, locations, observation times, reporting methods, photos, and equipment
modifications and siting. Station histories are most extensive for the
National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observing Program, and they include
officially documented station changes that adhere to an
NWS approval process.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) was created by the merger of NOAA's National Climatic
Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC),
including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing
